Led by Binyahu Har-Shemesh · not in the polls · running for sovereignty over all the land

A small religious-Zionist party announced in November 2025 by the security researcher Yair Ansbacher and now chaired by Binyahu Har-Shemesh. The registered entity behind it dates from 2021 and was taken over rather than newly founded, which is why the register still carries objectives that have nothing to do with the platform below. It wants Israeli sovereignty over all the land west of the Jordan, the emigration of Gaza's population, judges chosen at the ballot box, and a flat income tax. It drew national attention in May 2026 when Jonathan Pollard announced he was joining its Knesset run alongside Nissim Louk, whose daughter Shani was murdered at the Nova festival. Pollard withdrew about two weeks later, saying he had been overwhelmed with death threats.

The list, who comes with them

The list is not set yet. No slate has been published. Ansbacher said at the founding that candidates would be picked in open primaries and that the party then intends to merge with other parties on the national-religious right into a single ticket. No primary date has been set, and the December 2025 agreement to run jointly with Achdut LeIsrael has not been confirmed or cancelled since.

Rank on the slip decides who enters the Knesset. No pollster asks about this list, so there is no seat projection to set that rank against.
